I'm in China, living on a European schedule! - SIM-5762487 - Sep 26, 2026

At 9 AM, while everyone else is busy, I'm falling asleep.
At 4 PM, while others are wrapping up work, I'm just waking up.
The moment I open my eyes, I reach for my laptop:
writing documents, browsing the internet, organizing my thoughts.
I live in China, yet I'm on a completely different time zone from the world around me.
It's quiet, free — and a little lonely.
But I've always dreamed of going to the United States.
For now, I'm still sitting in my room, typing away at my keyboard,
but every time I wake up, it feels like I'm paving the way for my future.
I'm in China, living on a European schedule;
but in my heart, I carry the dream of America.
Feel free to ask me anything!

That’s a unique lifestyle. It may feel lonely sometimes, but it sounds like you’re staying focused on your goals.

Treat yourself a huge bowl of wanton noodles and some dumplings. Hoping you had a wonderful day!

Interesting! As Raijin asked, what work do you do that requires following European timezones?

Quite an interesting thing to share. Is your schedule due to anything in particular such as a job that you work later hours for or is it completely by choice? Either way, are you content with your current lifestyle? You seemed to express both some good and some bad about it. I'm glad you have a positive mindset about each day paving the way for your future and I assume working towards ultimately getting you to achieve your dream of being in the US. I wish you the best of luck with that.
